Just started reloading about a week ago so I am still learning, the problem is I had reloaded 10 rounds of 30-30's of the ten two failed to fire. I looked at the primers and there was a firing pin indention in both, is it possible that the primer was set to deep in the casing? Any comments are welcome.

Sounds like primer didn't fire. Primer is powerful enough to push the bullet into the bore with no powder in the case.


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

New primers or were you using an old box of them?

How do you seat your primers? Possible oil contamination from your hands? WD40 is really bad about killing primers. Another thought is a primer not seated fully and firing pin impact pushed primer deeper absorbing energy.

That's my first thought. Does a second strike light it off?


Take your kids hunting instead of hunting your kids.

I'd rather be LOST in the woods than FOUND in the city.

Drive a hybrid, I need your gas.

Your mind is your primary weapon. Never let it get rusty.

Thanks guys I think the primer not being seated fully was the problem. After looking at them last night the primers were not fully seated.
Thanks for the help.!

Get a Lee hand prime tool. Easy to feel when primer is seated. I have 2, one set up for large and small primers. Easy to switch but I'm lazy.
